The Bhagavad Gita or Song of God is a spiritual classic. It belongs not only to Hindus but to all the world, and is part of the spiritual inheritance of mankind. "I want to show," says Bede Griffiths, "how it can be a spiritual guide to a Christian and to anyone in search of a guide on the spiritual path. This commentary has been written for the benefit of people who do not want an academic study of the Gita, of which there are plenty, but who do want to use it as a practical guide in the spiritual life. A Christian who is open to the message of the Gita will find that it throws new light on many aspects of the Gospel and will see at the same time how the Bhagavad Gita gathers new meaning when seen in the perspective of the Gospel."
